01
Before you start
Two-factor authentication asks for another code when signing in. Authenticator codes appear in your authenticator app; email codes arrive by email. They are different methods.
02
What to do
- Open two-factor setup and choose an available method.
- For an authenticator, add the QR code or secret key to your authenticator app. On one phone, use the key or the offered app-opening action.
- Enter the current authenticator code. For email, enter the code from the message.
- Complete confirmation and check that protection is enabled.
- Store the displayed recovery codes safely, separately from this phone.
- Return to this section to change methods or disable protection and complete the requested confirmation.
03
If something goes wrong
- Authenticator code rejected: check the Spendella entry and automatic phone time, then use a fresh code.
- Do not put recovery codes in support chats or share them with other people.
- Displaying a QR code alone does not finish setup; a correct code must confirm it.
What you should see
Spendella asks for an additional check on subsequent applicable sign-ins.
